Bildad habla otra vez

25 Entonces Bildad de Súah respondió:

«La autoridad y el terror le pertenecen
    al que hace reinar la paz en sus alturas.
¿Acaso puede contarse el número de sus ejércitos?
    ¿Sobre quién no se irradia su luz?
¿Quién puede permanecer sin tacha ante él?
    ¿Qué ser humano puede decir que es puro?
Ante sus ojos ni la luna brilla;
    ni las estrellas son puras.
Mucho menos lo son los seres humanos, que son como gusanos.
    Un ser humano es un simple gusano».

Bildad

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

“Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)

25 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
